Seanchan Ogier - The Longing

[murf2011]

Does anyone know how the Seanchan Ogier have survived the Longing?

[Ozzie_aiel]

It is possible that on the other side of the world Seanchan escaped some of the devastation from the Breaking. Or Seanchan was in the hands of the Shadow at that time, meaning the Male Aes Sedai there were immune to the taint. Either way, if there was enough of a society there to hold together long enough to kill the male channellers, then the Seanchan Ogier would never have lost the stedding, and would never have gained the Longing

Week 3 Question: How do the Seanchan Ogier cope with the Longing, given that their duties in the Deathwatch Guard take them overseas? Are there many stedding in Seanchan?<br id="azwc0"><br id="azwc1">Robert Jordan Answers: There are many more stedding in Seanchan than there are in the part of the world where the story is taking place, and that is why the Seanchan Ogier don't suffer from the Longing. Because there are so many more stedding, they were able to find them more easily even during the Breaking and therefore never had the very extended separation that Ogier on this side of the Aryth Ocean had, though they seldom were able to settle in one for very long until the Breaking ended.
